PREP BASEBALL: Britton Deerfield beats Madison

A misplayed ball in the very first inning led to three Britton Deerfield runs and the Patriots used that as an impetus for an 8-3 Tri-County Conference win Monday over Madison.

An afternoon rain shower forced the game to be moved from Britton to Madison, however, BD was still the home team.

The deep fly ball with bases loaded hit by Calvin Shields put Madison in a quick hole from which it couldn’t dig out. DJ Gotz allowed no runs and struck out seven batters in four innings to earn the win. Noah Snyder pitched the final three innings and allowed two earned runs.

Snyder also had two hits and scored two runs for BD (5-3 TCC, 10-6 overall) while Cody Meinert had two hits with Tommy Garner drawing three walks.

Whiteford 13, Sand Creek 10: At Sand Creek, Whiteford won the Tri-County Conference slugfest as Sand Creek used three pitchers trying to quell the Bobcat offense.

Griffin Wollett went the first 2 1/3 innings and allowed seven unearned runs on four hits and three walks. Taking the loss was reliever Micah Smith, who allowed six runs (three unearned) on nine hits, one walk and striking out six. Will Gritzmaker finished on the hill and gave up one hit in 1 2/3 innings.

Trenden Peacock was 4-for-4 at the plate with a double and an RBI with three runs scored. Jameson Near was 3-for-4 with a double and two runs, Ben Woods hit a home run among two hits and had three RBIs while Kyle Keller had two hits.
